During WEFTEC® 2015, the Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) introduced a new format for education: the Interactive Knowledge Exchange (IKE). On Sept. 29, technical session 339 showcased IKE with 28 videos shown in rotation on four screens. More than 120 attendees were able to watch videos of their choice, step to the center of the room for networking, and converse with the creators of the videos as they were shown.

The IKE Symposium group chose six winning videos, and session attendees provided two “people’s choice” winners. WEF members can learn more about the winning videos in the archived IKE webcast. The winners are

“I Don’t Flush” in the overall category,

“Why Fine Grit Matters” in the vendor category,

“Tree for All: Community-Based Restoration for a Healthy Watershed” in the public outreach category,

“Dirty Jobs: Cranberry Style” in the operations category,

“How do VFD’s Reduce Energy Costs in Pumping Applications?” in the technical category,

“Water — What Is It Worth to You?” in the leading edge category,

“Gravelgirl Begins” in the student and young professional category, and
